Welcome to Iceland, dear traveller. What happens next?
As of 19 August 2020 (00.00) all arriving passengers can choose between a 14-day quarantine or a double testing procedure along with a quarantine for 5-6 days.
Awaiting results from the first screening test:
The rules of quarantine apply once you leave the border point. Once the sample for the PCR test is collected, you must go directly to your place of quarantine, by private car, taxi or rental car. If necessary, you are permitted to spend one night in appropriate quarantine accommodation near the point of entry, before travelling to the final place of quarantine.
Please make sure to download the app Rakning C-19, available through www.covid.is/app Opnast í nýjum glugga. The app delivers negative test results and assists in tracing infection if necessary. Furthermore, the app contains information about the healthcare system in Iceland and important tips about COVID-19 for your safety. Additional information about the app is available on www.covid.is/app/en.
If your test result is positive, you will receive a phone call from the COVID out-patient ward of the National Hospital (Landspitali) and additional measures to confirm an active infection will be explained. Negative results are communicated via the Rakning C-19 app or by SMS message to the phone number verified at pre-registration. If you do not receive your results within 24 hours please send an e-mail to testc19@landlaeknir.is and include your barcode in the email. Quarantine between tests: While in quarantine, you must stay at your registered location and avoid contact with other people. Pay attention to personal hygiene, especially hand hygiene. Please have your phone switched on at all times, to be able to receive calls or messages on the results of the COVID-19 test and for the function of the tracing app Rakning C-19.
